The buildings were also viewed by a Ministry engineer followed by a report. The Information and Education Advisory Board reviewed the reports and are recommending that the Authority carry out works in both the gymnasium and the pumphouse pumphouse using Ganaraska staff. The cost of materials for reinforcing reinforcing every second arch in the gymnasium and for reinforcing the foundation of the pumphouse has been estimated at $6,000.00. Such works will protect the pumphouse pumphouse and assures the safety of the gymnasium. The committee made no recommendations recommendations to the dining room hall. Heather Rutherford, Chief Administrative Administrative Officer for the Authority said as far as the dining ■ room hall was concerned it was a matter of deficiencies as regards the present-day building .code and was not that of safety or a hazard. She said that when the building was built, some years ago, the conditions conditions of the building cdde were not as they are today. She cited the requirement requirement of a firewall between a sleeping quarters, and the rest of the hall as one of the deficiencies.
